BSC Newsletter 6th September 2016

Dear {{firstname}},

Don’t for one moment think that your sailing Club is going to start to hibernate this autumn. Just have a look at some of the things taking place in the next couple of weeks. Always remembering that the big event of this weekend is BSC’s CLASSIC BOAT REVIVAL.

Double Discount Wednesdays 18:00 – 21:00

You’re at the mid-week dip and this is your reward. Keenly priced drinks and comfortable chats with friends.

Have you seen how big it is? The quarterly draw is a mahoosive £1,200 and on top of that you have the usual monthly draw of £230. Some lucky ticket holder is going to be VERY happy at 19:32 on Friday! If you would like more information on this 50/50 lottery, then just follow this link https://www.boshamsailingclub.com/lottery/ . Come along and watch the draw take place and then stay on for supper. You won’t be disappointed!

Your reservations need to be made by email to food@boshamsailingclub.com stating the number of places required and your choice of food and reservations MUST be made by 17:00 on Thursday 8th September.

And then it’s the CLASSIC BOAT REVIVAL SATURDAY 10TH & SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER

You can take part in it, you can help with it, you can watch it. It’s an absolutely fantastic event to be involved with and it’s happening this weekend at Bosham Sailing Club. Classic boats from all over the country will arrive at BSC and sail from the Quay to a Committee boat start on both days. There will be music and supper on Saturday evening at the Club, to which all Club members are welcome.

Breakfast will be served between 7:30 and 10:00 a.m. on both days, and this is also available to Club members and competitors.

Supper and Live Music Saturday 10th September 19:30

This is NOT just for competitors. There will certainly be a contingent of sailors who will hopefully have had a great day’s racing, but the evening is open to all Club members. The menu is:

Steak ‘n Ale Pie £9.50

Sausages and Mash £8.50

Fish Pie £10.00

Vegetable Lasagne £8.00

Booking is essential so please email food@boshamsailingclub.com by 19:00 on Friday 9th September with the number of places you require and your choice of food.

And please remember that hot snacks will be available from the Club at lunchtimes, on both days.

Our Club racing will be incorporated into this really worthwhile charity event. We are very short of powerboat drivers and crews that day, so if you can help, please sign up via DutyMan or phone the office.

The cruiser section are also doing their bit for Bart’s Bash. It’s their last outing of season and it would be great to have a good turnout. They have arranged a wonderful Rally to Beaulieu on Saturday 17th September and then there will be a Bart’s Bash race home. More information is in the cruiser section of the Club website.

And Save the Date.

Ruby and Members Reception Saturday 8th October 18:00

This very popular reception will take place again on Saturday 8th October. It is open to all members and there will be a small cost of £6 per head and this will include a drink and nibbles. Reservations need to be made via email to office@boshamsailingclub.com by Monday 3rd October and provided you give written permission, payment for the event can be debited from your Club Red Card (always provided that there are sufficient funds there!)

The Tapas event was a fine evening with the food being the absolute star of the show. Watch this newsletter for information on the next themed evening.

The Optimist Open, run last Sunday was a brilliant success with all the hard work put in by the Oppie class captains, really paying off. Over 30 boats enjoyed a tremendous day’s racing with Bosham Optimists performing very well.
